The paintings by students of Curtis Draper's â.rt classes rtere nor insured. Richard Cleland, the dean ot men, r'eported the theft to tbe !-resno Police Department and the FCC campus police. Cleland considers theft one of
the ì¡¡orst forms of dishonesty it permanently takes an ob-
since
ject fi'om its owner. "This theft ì¡as
a.
very personal
thing," Cleland seidj "It was a severe loss to the artists, considering the time and effort, they put
into their work."
Each stolen painting represented an average of 15 houls of class
s'ork for the students.

"It marked a double loss fo¡ Phil," Draper sald, "because one of his paintings was stolen from the art sale Ìast November in the Cafeteria." Draper said that 'the theft had
"temporarily dampened" the spir-
Draper thinks it curious that the thief would choose such a varied sampling of paintings from
tradltlonal styles
to
modern.
"It would seem
to me that more LhaD one thief was lnvolved," he said, "since it rvould be very un-
comfortable for any one person to carry all five paintints by himself."
"The students in a way c¿n be flattered that their pa.intings were taken instead of merely def¿ced," Draper said. "It's u¡fortunate the
thief didn't see fit to pay for
them."
Last Observation
The last known person to see the paintings was Rodney Krue ger, who was instrrrcting an Ar.t
